I just picked up an Eclipse 5301 and was just wondering how would it be for SQ and whatnot. Also was wondering if anyone had or knows of people that have 5301/5302's that are damaged and what to get rid of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hehe yea i forgot aboot that robin

This particular 5301 had a lil over heating
problem with the CD Transport. Somthing in
the transport was drawing to much current and
over heating the voltage regulator and it
would shut the transport down. so since i
did'nt feel like selling my soul to jestar
and Wait 2 years to get my 5301 back i fixed
it myself, yesiriebob did i ever. lol with
the aid of a CPU fan from a 486, 1 amp reed
relay some duct tape, cardboard and epoxy i
fixed the overheating problem, with the help
of removing the internal antenna conector in
favor of a pigtail, and moving a cap that was
in the way of the fan. Do any of u think that this will hamper the sound quality of this unit.

I had a 5301 in my old SQ car. I was very happy with it. I don't think your "mods" will affect the deck... and good call about Jestar!!

The fan might actually affect the deck.. is it located inside the enclosure, or close to any IC's or transformers?

Shadow are you familar with the innards of an
eclipse cause that would make this much
easier, if not, here goes its mounted where the antenna used to reside. it is about half an inch away from an IC and its right beside the tuner module. it gets power straight from the female end of the molex plug
